0-8！ The national football team suffered a crushing defeat, the brutal group of the European Preliminary Round was born, and the results of the African Cup of Nations draw were released

Beijing time in the early morning of October 13, the international football break, the European preliminary round is of course the focus, the two games of Group A, Haaland double-sounded to help Norway beat Cyprus 4-0, Spain beat Scotland 2-0, so that a brutal group in the European preliminary round was born: Scotland 15 points, Spain 12 points, Norway 10 points, Norway will play a life and death battle with Spain in the last two rounds, Norway must not lose, Spain also dare not lose, Haaland is absent from the European Cup? Or Spain to play the play-offs? There is no doubt that this is a cruel choice.

Against leaders Scotland, Spain won't win it easily and for Spain to keep their hopes of qualifying straight for the top of the group, this match must be won. In the first half, Merino hit the post, Morata scored but the offside was blown away first, and Robertson was injured. In the second half, Scottish players started a carnival with a free kick from Scottish McTominay, but VAR soon intervened, believing that Hendry was in an offside position and interfering with the Spanish goalkeeper, so the goal was also ruled invalid, and the Scotland team was overjoyed. Spain finally broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute of the game with a cross from Keylor Navas and a header from Morata to make it 1-0! In the 86th minute, Scotland defender Hickey slipped with the ball in the back, Jose Lu crossed and assisted, and Sanset tackled, Spain finally beat Scotland 2-0 to take all three points, completing the defeat in the first leg. With one round less, Spain is three points away from top Scotland, and has hopes to compete for the top spot in the group.

In the same group, Norway and Cyprus play in this round. Norway has only scored 7 points after the previous 5 rounds, and if they want to keep their hopes of reaching the European Championship, Norway cannot drop the chain in the last three games, and this match against Cyprus, which is at the bottom of the group, Norway must win. Although the first shot came a little late, Norway took full control of the scene and scored first in the 33rd minute when Solrot scored from outside the box to give Norway a 1-0 lead to end the first half. Haaland scored two consecutive goals in the 65th and 72nd minutes, and Orses scored another goal in the 81st minute to seal the score at 4-0 and Norway to a hearty victory. After the match, Norway reached 10 points, three points behind Spain, who had played six rounds, and five points behind Scotland, who also played six rounds, and the final two rounds would depend on the faces of other teams to get the final two places in the group to the European Championship.

In Group A, the other team is Georgia, who has no task in this round and chooses a friendly match against Thailand from Asia. As a result, a 0-8 tragedy was born, Thailand conceded 6 goals in the first half, conceded 2 more in the second half, and was finally washed in blood by Georgia. It is worth mentioning that the Thai team is the opponent of our national football team in the same group in the next World Preliminary Round. I wanted to warm up with a relatively weak opponent in the European team, but I didn't expect it to suffer a crushing defeat, which was definitely not what the Thai team expected before the game.

In African football, the results of the Africa Cup of Nations draw were also released in the early hours of this morning. The 24 teams were divided into 6 groups, as follows: Group A, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau; Group B: Egypt, Ghana, Cape Verde, Mozambique; Group C: Senegal, Cameroon, Guinea, Gambia; Group D: Algeria, Burkina Faso, Mauritania, Angola; Group E: Tunisia, Mali, South Africa, Namibia; List F: Morocco, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zambia, Tanzania.
